AID HEALTH CARE IN UKRAINE

DONATE

Our mission

Founded in 2024 by a group of Danes passionate about making a difference for those in crisis areas – Nordic Aid’s mission is to support Ukraine by establishing operational ballistic-protected, fully equipped hospital compounds in vulnerable regions. The Ukrainian healthcare system has been heavily damaged, with over 1,911 medical facilities impacted and 214 destroyed. WHO suggests that more Ukrainians may be on track to be injured or killed in such attacks this year than last year. This data and devastation highlight the urgent need for robust medical infrastructure.

We focus on funding and delivering hospital compounds and primary medical clinics to ensure all Ukrainians have access to essential healthcare services. Despite the war, Ukrainian healthcare workers continue providing critical care under terrible circumstances. However, continuous attacks on medical facilities threaten their ability to continue their vital work.

Recent incidents, like the Russian missile strike on Kyiv’s largest children’s hospital, Ohmatdyt, highlight the increasing frequency of assaults on healthcare sites in Ukraine. These attacks violate the Geneva Conventions and endanger civilian lives.

Nordic Aid’s ballistic-protected hospital compounds are crucial for enabling doctors and healthcare workers to perform surgeries and provide essential care. By strengthening these facilities, we support Ukrainian medical professionals in their life-saving efforts and ensure the health and survival of the population amid the ongoing invasion.

The Office of Health for System Recovery of the Ministry of Health in Ukraine will assist Nordic Aid in identifying and verifying the most suitable locations for the compounds.

The Ministry of Health will also support the staffing and operational readiness of the hospital facilities and coordinate with local health departments and partners upon installation.

SURGERY EQUIPMENT INVENTORY LIST

Nordic Aid’s Hospital Compounds will meet the growing and ongoing critical need for access to treatment and surgeries in Ukraine. Our hospitals are equipped with everything from reception to storage, examination rooms, operating rooms, and recovery areas—and electronic equipment that will enable functional operations as soon as the hospital is installed.

Nordic Aid collaborates with manufacturers in Denmark, who, together with Danish doctors, have developed the best possible solutions for temporary hospital compounds in crisis areas. Our focus is to provide long-term sustainable solutions through flat-pack hospital units. Each unit is state-of-the-art and equipped with devices that can sterilised after each operation.

Our units, designed for easy installation, arrive fully stocked with sufficient medical equipment to be operational for several months without resupply. The units will be staffed by local doctors and nurses in collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Ukraine. This partnership ensures the hospitals’ effective operation, respects and utilises local healthcare expertise, and enhances the project’s sustainability.
